'"We are very angry because a staff member was assaulted by a grad student and that student is still allowed on campus," says Marie Reimers.

Frustrated students protested at Central Michigan University today. It's all over a recent sexual assault case. They want the university to suspend the student charged with the crime.

Pradeep Gujjula is charged with criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree. A CMU staff member told campus police that he asked to take a photo with her and then touched her chest.

He's since been banned from academic buildings, except for the buildings his classes are in. Students say that's not enough.

"According to CMU's own sexual misconduct policy the university can take temporary interim measures between the time an assault happened and the time the assailant has their hearing. One of those measures is temporary suspension. CMU has not done that which we find very appalling," says Reimers.'

Video report here on Randall Smith, a North Carolina man who is paying child support for a son who is not his. In fact, he's in trouble because he is behind in this support, even though he can prove that he is not the father. The comments are actually rather encouraging, for a change. Report summary:

'What was news to a courtroom in North Carolina was well known to Randall Smith. That he is in court over child support payments the county says he owes is not unusual.'

'Rolling Stone magazine published an article Nov. 19, 2014 titled “A Rape on Campus: A Brutal Assault and Struggle for Justice at UVA.” This article, which Rolling Stone later retracted due to false accusations, claimed members of the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi at the University of Virginia had gang raped a freshman named Jackie at their fraternity house the night of Sept. 28, 2012.

Since society and the American media often negatively portray fraternities and sororities, this didn’t come as a big shock to many people. Studies have shown 1 in 5 females will experience sexual assault at some point in their four years of college and that fraternity men are 300 percent more likely to be involved in sexual assault.

'There are two universally accepted “truths” about women and STEM careers (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). The first is that men outnumber women in in these fields, and the second is that women are socialized to avoid STEM as career choices, because society considers them “unfeminine.”
...
On closer inspection, it turns out that these “truths” are nothing more than assumptions, and that these assumptions are inconsistent with the facts. Here are the facts:

1. Men do not outnumber women in all STEM fields
...
2. Women and men are equally capable of doing STEM work
...
3. Sex-linked interest preferences are not mere artifacts of socialization
...
4. Different preferences don’t mean women’s are less important
...
5. Men earn more because they believe they are worth more—and women agree'

'Notice anything missing from the coming general election?

Could any national drama more starkly reveal how completely men’s interests are a non-issue in British politics? We are not even in the wings.

While the manifestos of all major parties teem with cooing blandishments to women, none of them has a word to say about the glaring disadvantages of boys and young men in education and employment. None of them demonstrates a smidgen of concern that the routine separation of tens of thousands of children from their fathers every year by force of law in the Family Court is this country’s most indefensible abuse of human rights.

'Every human deserves equal treatment, irrespective of race, caste, creed, nationality or gender. Of course, this rule has been violated many times.

Racist attacks, war crimes, riots and killings in the name of religion and genocides serve as example. When the belief for common good is dishonored in any way, it breeds a dysfunctional society.

In feminism’s case, male-bashing has replaced candid conversations about the warped roles that women have taken in society — roles that men can’t relate to. Originated from the French language, feminism is the support of equal rights of the sexes. You can be a feminist while fighting for a man’s rights.

No movement can do any good by slandering another group of society. If that is the motive behind a revolution, then that movement is headed for downfall.

'The streets of downtown Roseburg were filled with men walking in high heels Friday afternoon.

It was an unusual scene but it was all for a good cause and a few good laughs.

The Walk-A-Mile In Her Shoes campaign provides men a chance to help raise awareness about violence against women.

"It’s important to take some of the stigma away from that topic,” said Battered Persons’ Advocacy sexual assault services director Cheryl Newell. “If we can talk about violence in our community without shame, without being embarrassed, then we can start talking about solutions."

The money raised stays in Douglas County and benefits the Battered Persons’ Advocacy.'

'Lena Dunham isn’t the only victim of her sexual assault, and yet despite the fact that her unconscionable behavior resulted in an innocent family man being accused of her rape, the “Girls” creator is still being celebrated and honored as a sexual assault role model at events like this weekend’s Variety’s Power of Women New York Luncheon, and throughout the mainstream media.

Here are the facts:

The tip of the spear of Dunham’s massive public relations campaign around the release of her auto-biography, was the news that she had been raped by a campus Republican.

In the autobiography, which was labeled as non-fiction, Dunham described her rapist using seven completely unnecessary details that immediately identified him — to anyone with five spare minutes and access to Google — as a high-profile and outspoken Republican she attended Oberlin College with during the mid-2000s — a real human being who now has a family, a career, and a Facebook page.'

'Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson’s Senate Bill 186 (SB 186 [link added]) cleared the senate floor Monday, extending California community colleges’ jurisdiction beyond their campuses, allowing them to discipline students who commit sexual assault and sexual exploitation off-campus with suspension or expulsion from the college.

The senate passed the bipartisan bill unanimously, 35-0, and will now send it to the California State Assembly. The original bill language allowed community colleges to discipline students for any off-campus crimes deemed “egregious,” but an amendment limited the authority to sexual assault cases.

WASHINGTON / April 27, 2015 – The University of Virginia (UVA) has adopted a new Interim Policy on sexual misconduct that dramatically expands the definition of sexual misconduct to include any type of sexual contact. The policy also imposes an “affirmative consent” requirement, warning that “Relying solely on non-verbal communication before or during sexual activity… may result in a violation of this Policy.” SAVE believes the policy will do nothing to deter forcible rape, and is likely to serve to trivialize the problem.

According to the new policy, any intentional touching of intimate body areas, whether clothed or unclothed, must be preceded by specific words or actions indicating consent. Under this definition, a simple hug or close dancing could be construed as sexual assault punishable by expulsion, SAVE notes.

Constitutional scholar Hans Bader has criticized the new UVA policy as “an outrageous violation of students’ privacy rights.” http://libertyunyielding.com/2015/04/09/hugs-are-now-sexual-assault-at-the-university-of-virginia/

SAVE highlights the fact that the new policy likely would not have helped to prevent the recent rape of Hannah Graham. The former UVA student was abducted on September 13, 2014. One month later, human remains believed to have come from her body were found at a rural location.

The murder suspect, Jesse Matthew, had been accused of sexual assault at two separate Virginia colleges he had attended as a student. But a criminal case was not brought against the man in either incident.

'When I wrote my previous LI piece about Christina Hoff Sommers lecture at Georgetown, I hoped that the “trigger warnings” and “safe spaces” were the end to the attempted censorship of Dr. Sommers’ speech.

The Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, for which I am the lecture director, sponsored the speech, and recorded it so that others could both hear Dr. Sommers and the people who questioned her.

Unfortunately, I was wrong about the controversy being over.

Now, Georgetown University itself is putting pressure on the Georgetown College Republicans to make CBLPI edit its video of the lecture.

I know some were asking about the ABC PRIMETIME LIVE report about women's violence against men. Well, I found it!

It's on my website, go have a look-see. This is back when such stories were able to get through the feminist stranglehold on the media. Sadly, those days are gone, I think, but it is an interesting report on the subject.

Tweet caps here. Just a couple:

"If we use proof in rape cases, we fall in a pattern of rape deniers."

"If we keep trying to 'prove that it exists', we will never get anywhere."
